    Last weak it broke that the ABC organization that gives the "official" polar bear count has pretty much just been making an educated guess. But the ABC organization did specify if this guess was high or low. It is now breaking that not only is the count just a guess it is also an artificially low guess.

    It turns out that the alarmist scientists who are making the guess aren't even bothering to guess the polar bear population in half of the arctic. If an area of the arctic is unstudied the alarmists assume that the polar bear population in that area is ... get this ... 0.

    Yep that is right. In the half of the arctic habitat they assume a polar bear population of 0.

    Now I know you are asking yourself. This has to be just an error. Good alarmist scientists wouldn't intentionally do something as stupid as assuming that half of the arctic polar bear habitat has exactly 0 polar bears on purpose would they?

    Do you really need an answer to that question?

    Polar bear numbers likely to decline as Arctic Sea ice shrinks...

    Study: Polar Bear Numbers to Fall As Arctic Ice Shrinks
    November 19, 2015 — Polar bear populations are likely to fall by more than 30 percent by around mid-century as global warming thaws Arctic sea ice, experts said on Thursday in the most detailed review of the predators to date.

    Science and the media have been barking up that tree for years now - claiming how the Polar Bears are going to go extinct if the arctic melt continues. Problem is, the Polar Bear numbers have increased. This oracle of repetition, claiming the polar bears demise has been trotted out multiple times over the past few decades. It's a myth that the GW proponents continue to beat on their drums to attract more supporters.

    None of your alarmist predictions have come true.

    Polar bear numbers were made up...
    :omg:
    Scientist confesses he made up polar bear population estimates
    May 31, 2014 - The greatest scientific fraud in history is slowly but surely unraveling, and the breadth of the corruption revealed is stunning. As any good con man knows, and emotional appeal is necessary, and the warmists found their cuddly-looking icon of endangerment in the polar bear, an animal frequently chosen as stuffed toys for children to hug. Pictures of polar bears on ice floes, presumably doomed to death by drowning as the Arctic ice disappeared, were used to tug on the heartstrings of adults and children alike, in order to scare them into willingly handing over power over their economic destiny to global mandarins who would reduce their standard of living.

    Good, then I can expect the price of their meat to go down now, right? :wink:
